Vulnerability from github – Published: 2023-01-10 12:30 – Updated: 2024-06-11 09:30
VLAI
Details

Affected devices do not contain an Immutable Root of Trust in Hardware. With this the integrity of the code executed on the device can not be validated during load-time. An attacker with physical access to the device could use this to replace the boot image of the device and execute arbitrary code.

Vulnerability from github – Published: 2025-04-23 18:30 – Updated: 2025-04-23 18:30
VLAI
Details

CarlinKit CPC200-CCPA Missing Root of Trust Local Privilege Escalation Vulnerability. This vulnerability allows local attackers to escalate privileges on affected installations of CarlinKit CPC200-CCPA devices. An attacker must first obtain the ability to execute low-privileged code on the target system in order to exploit this vulnerability.

The specific flaw exists within the configuration of the application system-on-chip (SoC). The issue results from the lack of a properly configured hardware root of trust. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to escalate privileges and execute arbitrary code in the context of the boot process. Was ZDI-CAN-25948.

Mitigation
Architecture and Design

When architecting the system, the RoT should be designated for storage in a memory that does not allow further programming/writes.

Mitigation
Implementation

During implementation and test, the RoT memory location should be demonstrated to not allow further programming/writes.

CAPEC-679: Exploitation of Improperly Configured or Implemented Memory Protections

An adversary takes advantage of missing or incorrectly configured access control within memory to read/write data or inject malicious code into said memory.

CAPEC-68: Subvert Code-signing Facilities

Many languages use code signing facilities to vouch for code's identity and to thus tie code to its assigned privileges within an environment. Subverting this mechanism can be instrumental in an attacker escalating privilege. Any means of subverting the way that a virtual machine enforces code signing classifies for this style of attack.
